Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
काय मज एवढा भार । हे वेव्हार चाळवाया ॥1॥
उकल तो जाणे धणी । मज भोजनीं कारण ॥ध्रु.॥
चिंता ज्याची तया शिरीं । लेंकरीं तें खेळावें ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे सेवट झाल । देव या बोला भोगिता ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Am I burdened with the weight of managing all this worldly business? The master knows how to sort it out; my only concern is to eat the meal He provides. Let the one whose worry it is carry it upon his head; the child should simply play. Says Tuka, when the final reckoning comes, God Himself will take responsibility for these words.
